(AP) — When two early road losses threatened to derail No. 2 Purdue's Big Ten championship journey, the Boilermakers charted a different course. “We're just focused on winning games,” All-American center Zach Edey said after Sunday's 75-69 victory at then conference-leading and No. So instead of fretting about the early season missteps at Northwestern and Nebraska, they used the losses as fuel to keep chugging along.

SEATTLE (AP) — Inside the ballroom of a swanky downtown Seattle athletic club another small piece to the legacy of Pac-12 football ended Thursday. The Morris Trophy was never a name-brand award handed out following the college football season in part because it honored offensive and defensive linemen, players who sometimes don't get the recognition they deserve. If there’s any other awards like that in the country, we haven’t found one yet,” said Wayne Milner, chairman of the Morris Trophy board. Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Bruce Matthews, Randall McDaniel, Gary Zimmerman and Tony Boselli have won the award. There’s talk of trying to continue the award in some way, but if it does it won’t be the same.

Clemson went on to lose its next two games at Miami, 28-20 in overtime on Oct. 21 and at North Carolina State, 24-17, on Saturday.
